Conserved protein; Rv3231c, (MTCY20B11.06c), len: 169 aa. Conserved protein, similar to Q9KYX9|SCE33.03c hypothetical 17.4 KDA protein from Streptomyces coelicolor (167 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 415, E(): 6.6e-19, (49.1% identity in 171 aa overlap).

Diacylglycerol kinase; Catalyzes the phosphorylation of diacylglycerol (DAG) into phosphatidic acid. Is involved in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs), probably via a role in the biosynthesis of phosphatidylinositol (PI), a PIM precursor, which is derived from phosphatidic acid (By similarity); Belongs to the diacylglycerol/lipid kinase family.

Triacylglycerol lipase; Responsible for the utilization of stored long-chain triacylglycerol (TG) during dormancy and reactivation stage of the infection cycle. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of long-chain triacylglycerol with high specific activity; In the C-terminal section; belongs to the 'GDXG' lipolytic enzyme family.

Possible oxidoreductase; Rv0547c, (MTCY25D10.26c), len: 294 aa. Possible oxidoreductase, similar to various oxidoreductases e.g. fatty acyl-CoA reductase from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (295 aa); NP_280196.1|NC_002607 3-oxoacyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase from Halobacterium sp. NRC-1 (255 aa); NP_349214.1|NC_003030 Short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase family protein from Clostridium acetobutylicum (255 aa); etc. Also similar to several proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis e.g. Y04M_MYCTU|Q10783 putative oxidoreductase (341 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 644, E(): 0, (46.1% identity in [...]

Polyphosphate kinase Ppk2 (polyphosphoric acid kinase); Uses inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) as a donor to convert GDP to GTP. In addition, modulates nucleotide triphosphate synthesis catalyzed by the nucleoside diphosphate kinase (Ndk) in favor of GTP production over CTP or UTP. Plays an important role in survival of M.tuberculosis in macrophages.

Rv1414, (MTCY21B4.31), len: 133 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, similar to C-terminal part of AB010956|AB010956_1 novel metal-activated pyridoxal enzyme from Arthrobacter sp. (379 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 163,E(): 0.00063, (32.1% identity in 112 aa overlap). Rv1413 is similar to N-terminal part of same enzyme suggesting possible frameshift. Sequence has been checked and no errors found, it is identical in Mycobacterium bovis strain AF2122/97 and in Mycobacterium tuberculosis CDC1551.

Rv2308, (MTCY339.01c), len: 238 aa. Conserved hypothetical protein, sharing similarity with O53464|Rv2018|MTV018.05 from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (239 aa), FASTA scores: opt: 142, E(): 0.034, (24.8% identity in 250 aa overlap). As contains possible helix-turn-helix motif at aa 16-37 (Sequence: YVYAEVDKLIGLPAGTAKRWIN) (Score 1169, +3.17 SD), may be a transcriptional regulator. This region is a possible MT-complex-specific genomic island (See Becq et al.,2007).

Hypothetical oxidoreductase; Is likely involved in the aerobic desaturation system responsible for the synthesis of oleic acid from stearoyl-CoA; oleic acid is a precursor of mycobacterial membrane phospholipids and triglycerides. Is the electron transfer partner for the stearoyl-CoA 9- desaturase DesA3. Catalyzes electron transfer reaction between NADPH and the diiron center of DesA3. Cannot use NADH.
